Kappa Omicron Chapter of Phi Gamma Delta

348 NW 25th Street, Corvallis, OR 97330

In Chi Omega’s fall philanthropy, “Color Me Chi O,” my fellow KO brothers and I ran, walked, and rolled our way to the finish line. The 5k “color fun run, walk, and roll” (as it was advertised by Chi Omega) was held at the Benton County Fairgrounds on Saturday, November 12, 2016, and was open to the entire Corvallis community. All proceeds raised by the event — $13,780 this year — are donated to the Make-A-Wish Foundation. Members of the OSU Chi Omega chapter came out in force, running the event smoothly and throwing in lots of color with arched balloon gateways at every half-mile. Brothers of the Kappa Omicron Chapter of Phi Gamma Delta came into the race this year as reigning champions of the philanthropy. Although we were not this year’s winning team — between trying not to freeze before the race started and blasting music while spraying Red Bull in the air at the end — the entire day was a blast, and our brotherhood shined through. As the individual winner of the race both this year and last year, I might be the only brother in the house who loves to run. That is why I am mighty proud to see our chapter show up in force, with some of us not just running. Brothers Colton Groves and Jordan Pascua deserve a special shout-out for finishing the entire race on scooters — almost as impressive as when they did it on ripsticks last year. The Color Me Chi O philanthropy is easily my favorite of the year, not just because it involves running a 5k, but also because Color Me Chi O is always an opportunity for our chapter to shine. Even without the great satisfaction of winning, my favorite parts of the day are all the fun we make of it as a brotherhood. — Jonathan Fookes

2016 Haunted House Raises $4,218 for Youth Shelter In the 2016 fall term, Kappa Omicron Chapter of Phi Gamma Delta once again hosted the annual Haunted House. The theme chosen for this year’s event was “Terror on 25th: Purge Election Year.” Inspiration for this theme came from the recent movie release in the Purge series, and the fact that it was an election year. All proceeds went to the Jackson Street Youth Shelter, which serves homeless, runaway, and other youth in crisis. This year, Jackson Street was able to bring two boys from the shelter to the Haunted House, and we were told that the boys really enjoyed it! Thanks to the combined effort of the men of Phi Gamma Delta, as well as support from friends, sororities, and the Corvallis community, “Terror on 25th: Purge Election Year” was able to raise and donate a total of $4,218.15 to the shelter. This is the most money donated to Jackson Street Youth Shelter in recent history! Overall, it was an incredible experience for everyone who helped and attended. — Dylan Girardi

I and three other OSU students com-peted as a team in the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) regional student design competition in Flagstaff, Arizona, April 21-24, 2016. The competi-tion was to make the smallest machine possible that could alter the form of and shoot a piece of paper. Points were as-signed by the distance the paper traveled, divided by the volume of the machine. Our design team took the approach of making the smallest design possible, which paid off tremendously. We scored over 7,000 points — while the second- place team scored under 1,000. The competition was a great learning experi-ence and a lot of fun. — Reno Ancheta

Welcome to the Kappa Omicron Chapter of Phi Gamma Delta!

Winter 2017 3 Phi Gamma Delta

Purple Legionnaire Report

For the second year in a row, the Kappa Omicron chapter of Phi Gamma Delta won the Sigma Delta Omega Bowling Tournament philan-thropy (all proceeds going to stem cell research).

The event occurred on November 17, a rainy day with a high of 55°F — the perfect day to win a bowl-ing tournament. The smell of sweat and feet hung in the air as Mitchell Brenton, Jordan Pascua, Gray Lunn, Chris Gin-gerich, Damon Greenshields, and Sam Kennedy entered the Memorial Union basement.

For weeks, these men had been mentally preparing to bowl the hardest they have ever bowled before, in order to take home the trophy. Ten-sions were high as each of the different fraternities filed into their specified lanes to warm up for what is considered to be, by some, “the greatest bowling tournament to ever occur on the 17th of Novem-ber in 2016.”

Once the tournament began, all hell broke loose. Pins were flying all over as Mitch unleashed a fury of bowling power so potent that many witnesses swear on their lives that Earl Anthony himself was bowling for Fiji. The remaining five teammates also performed on a level that was described as “nothing short of incredible!”

When the results were tallied and Fiji was found to be victorious, the enthusiastic coach approached the six weary men and asked how they did it. Without hesita-tion, Jordan looked at the coach and said, “Bowling is just right up our alley.” — Damon Greenshields

Nicholas (Nick) Bennett West ’11 has been busy continuing his education after leaving 348 NW 25th Street. Nick grew up in Imbler, Oregon — a small town in eastern Oregon near La Grande. He was active in nearly every school and community-based organization from athletics to Future Farmers of America and Future Business Leaders of America. He was also an Eagle Scout. It was no surprise that the men and institution of Kappa Omicron were a natural fit for Nick’s involvement while studying at OSU. The chapter was thrilled to welcome him as a legacy (Nick’s brother is JD Cant ’03). While at OSU, he was active in the chapter, the College of Agriculture, and various campus organizations. After graduation, he took a year to prepare, study, and work toward applying for medical school. He also took that year to prepare for his wedding, which was held on his family’s ranch. Nick was accepted by OHSU and started his medical train-ing in the summer of 2015. He recently completed the 18 months of the didactic period of medical school, and is moving into the clinical portion of his training. He has been placed in Enterprise, Oregon, for his clinicals. Nick’s grandfather was a rural doctor in eastern Montana and spent the last half of his career as an emergency room doctor in Fresno, California. Nick has always had a deep desire to serve his communities in health care. His program at OHSU will be completed in 2019, and then he will decide whether to move into family medicine or general surgery for his residency. We’re proud of Nick’s accomplishments and commitment to improving the lives of others in service through health care — as well as connecting with his family heritage. He has a strong desire to practice medicine in rural Oregon, and hopes to find placement and employment in the northeastern part of the state. His wife, Alexandra (OSU ’11 — double degree: Education; Human Development and Family Sciences), works at Sam Barlow High School in Gresham, Oregon, as a Culinary Arts teacher. Both continue to be active in agriculture on family farms back at home (3H Ranch in Imbler; Shady Maple Farm Community Supported Agriculture - CSA; Salem). Nick lives the values and pursues the higher aims we embrace as brothers in Phi Gamma Delta. Press on, Brother! We wish Nick and Alex the best in the years to come.

A common bond shared by brothers in Kappa Omicron is our experience living at 348 NW 25th Street. We’re extremely fortunate that our chapter continues to oper-ate from its original chapter house. But operating and maintaining a house that is nearing 100 years old also presents its fair share of challenges. We’re fortunate to have a dedicated group of graduate brothers that works to en-sure that our undergraduate brothers will be able to reside in our chapter house for

decades to come. These brothers, who serve on the Board of Directors for the Kappa Omicron As-sociation (aka House Corp.), are Michael Peterson ’02, Tyler Ashburn ’03, Brandon Antoni ’01, Ben Miles ’03, and Brian Lorts ’06. They quickly respond when emergency repairs are required, and they plan for long-term improvements to the chapter house. Most recently, they oversaw the construction of a new bike cage — an amenity that is greatly appreciated by our undergraduate brothers. Thank you, Brothers! An aging facility is not the only challenge on the horizon for House Corp. To continue housing freshmen after this academic year, OSU will require us to submit a plan to renovate the chapter house so that it is accessible to persons with disabilities. The renovations need not be completed this fall, but we must have a plan in place. We hope that we can satisfy this requirement with reno-vations to only the first floor of the chapter house but that remains an open question. This issue will likely shape the House Corporation’s priorities for the next few years. On a brighter note, we’re excited that Pig Dinner will return to Corvallis this year on May 20. We hope you’ll attend and make time to stop by 348 NW 25th Street for a quick tour!Fraternally,Kirk Maag541-881-9613kirk.maag@gmail.com

Fun Family Weekend in Fall 2016 This year we had the pleasure of partnering with the ladies of Sigma Kappa for Fall Family Weekend, formerly known as Dads’ Weekend. The event started on Friday, November 18, and we kicked off the weekend with tours of both the Sigma Kappa and Phi Gamma Delta chapter houses to give the families a chance to see where we live and grow together. The families were thoroughly impressed by the architecture and overall beauty of both houses. With the weekend being mainly for dads in the past, we upheld tradition by hosting a Friday night poker tournament at the Phi Gamma Delta chapter house. The brothers put together a delicious nacho bar, and families had a great time exchanging stories and getting to know each other. The tournament started at 7 p.m. with a 10-dollar buy-in, and came to an end around 11 p.m. The winner took home the pot, which totaled about $300. On Saturday, we continued festivities with a lunchtime potluck. All the members of each house and their families brought delicious food to share with everyone and continued the bonding and fun. Later that night, we had a lively tailgate leading up to the Arizona vs.Oregon State game. The tailgate was thrown together by our very own Kyle Darby, and it was by far the best tailgate I have attended in my time at Oregon State. There was food, music, and a corn hole tournament that had fierce competitors! For Sunday, we decided to let everyone go their own way and have individual family events to wrap up an amazing weekend of fun, laughter, and food. I’m thankful to have had the opportunity to put together such a successful and memorable weekend for the Fijis, the Sigma Kappas, and their families. It was the highlight of my career as social chairman, and I look forward to an even better weekend next fall. — Blaine Therrell

Tyler Bradley ’05 moved home to Elkton, Oregon, in the spring of 2014 to run his fam-ily’s vineyard and winery business. Bradley Vineyards was planted by Tyler’s late father, John, in 1983 and has been growing grapes for wineries around Oregon for decades. In 2001, John Bradley started making small batches of Estate wines at the River’s Edge Winery facility. Tyler now is making the wine for Bradley, River’s Edge, and Gillirose Vine-yards (one of Elkton’s newest labels). Brad-ley is Elkton’s largest vineyard, with nearly 30 acres planted in Pinot Noir, Riesling, Gewurtztraminer, and Baco Noir. Their wine club, overnight yurt “glamping,” and vineyard dinners and concerts are some of their most popular attractions. Check out Bradley Vine-yards’ website at www.bradleyvineyards.com.Cheers to Brother Bradley!

Fiji Brothers in Business:

Going paint-balling with the brothers was a great way to spend time to-gether and have a blast doing it. It allowed us to blow off some steam and stress of classes. There is just something about having a bit of friendly competition that helps brothers bond. The trip was some-thing that many brothers had been wanting to do for a while, and we would all like to do it again in the future, along with other small brotherhood events that are in the works! — Ben Platter

In the 2016 fall term, I was extremely fortunate to travel to Washington, DC, on behalf of OSU. Mason Kimmel ’15 and I were picked by chance in our Music Ap-preciation class to particiipate in the “Mu-sic at the White House” program. OSU paid our expenses for the trip, which in-cluded six other OSU students. The point of this program was to motivate under-privileged kids (who were present when we got to the White House) to follow their dreams and realize that success can be achieved from different backgrounds. We traveled on a Thursday, and on Friday, we had a tour of the White House that included the famous Green, Blue, and Red rooms. The rooms are filled with elegant furniture, and everything is insanely clean. After our tour, we all went to a seminar emceed by my teacher, with three guests: First Lady Michelle Obama, singer and actress Michelle Williams, and Grammy Award-winning singer Yolanda Adams. We got to hear them speak, and they answered our questions. After the seminar, our group was able to watch part of the rehearsal for President Obama’s last White House

Then we had the op-portunity to meet and talk with them after their rehearsal. On Saturday, we had the day to tour the city on our own. Mason and I had previously been to DC years ago, so we decided to visit sites we had not seen

before. We toured the Lincoln Memo-rial, Martin Luther King, Jr., Memorial, Thomas Jefferson Memorial, Holocaust Museum, Air and Space Museum, and the Newseum. The trip was a great experience and one that I will never forget! I’m thankful that I was lucky enough to be chosen to go, and that OSU made this student trip possible for us. — Connor Bell ’15

Supporting OSU’s sports teams is one of Fiji’s favorite things to do. In the 2016 fall term, along with Beaver football games, we attended women’s soccer and volleyball games. We went to all the conference games that were held at OSU, and drove to Eugene to watch our women Beavers take on the Ducks. About 10 Fiji brothers attended eight of the women’s soccer games. Whether it was pouring down rain or bright and sunny, we were there, dressed in orange. During every home game, at least one of our brothers was involved in the half-time show, and we won everything from free shirts to tickets to the next home football game! At the end of every game — win or lose — we stayed and congratulated the players. During volleyball games, we also got to support one of our brothers, Trent Pederson, as he was part of the cheering squad. At least five guys attended 11 volleyball games. In advance of each game, we made a sign to support someone on the team. For one game, we made a sign to sup-port the coach, and he recognized it. At the end of each game, along with congratulating the players, we would also get our picture taken with Trent. Now that basketball has started, we have been going to most of the games, making an effort to be at games early, in order to get the best pos-sible seats. — Dylan Girardi
